Just saw this and its a perfect opportunity for our younger supporters to get involved with a project.

C-SPAN's StudentCam is an annual national video documentary competition that encourages students to think seriously about issues that affect our communities and our nation. Students are asked to create a short (5-8 minute) video documentary that responds to one of the topics listed below.

Requirements

1. Since C-SPAN’s philosophy is to show varying sides of an issue, winning StudentCam documentaries will provide the same treatment of their selected topic.
2. Include C-SPAN programming related to your topic
3. 5 to 8 minute time limit
4. Credits at the end of your documentary or a works cited list

Thanks! We did a short documentary last year, YouTube - The Day the Constitution Died (Ohio State 2009 II) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN_Q7YgSmsU) (we only had 3 days notice)

It'd be nice to give it another shot!

I am not a member of YAL, could you maybe make sure to get this passed to the right people there? I think this could be very good project.

Will do, I'll post a blog about it on the YAL homepage.
